MEIWITA Chapter 686: Mother Steps Forward

Lou Mu Yan could tell that this young man had a strong desire to live, and the unwillingness and hatred in his eyes were deep.

“Don’t worry, I’ll cure you.” Lou Mu Yan patted his shoulder to comfort him.

The man pressed his lips tightly together and said gratefully: “Physician Lou, if you can cure me, I, Luo Zhi, will owe you a life in the future.”

As long as he could restore the severed meridians in his body and avenge his parents and siblings, his life would be Lou Mu Yan’s.

“No need.” Lou Mu Yan smiled and shook her head.

She could tell that this man’s hatred wasn’t vicious—it must be revenge for his close ones. Even if she encountered such a person in general, she’d save him, let alone during the alchemy competition.

“Physician Lou…” The man was interrupted by Lou Mu Yan before he could finish speaking.

“Adjust your body to rest first, and I’ll go refine pills.” Lou Mu Yan said.

“Yes!” The man felt an unspeakable gratitude in his heart.

Ever since his clan was exterminated, his betrothed broke off the betrothal, and his good friends from the various clans all avoided him like strangers. None of the physicians in his city dared to see to him either.

He escaped with spiritual stones to Central State to seek a doctor, but no one could cure him. The black market’s physicians scammed him dry of his spiritual stones and threw him out.

This time, when the Alchemy Pagoda recruited patients, he also came here with the attitude of giving it a try. He didn’t expect that he’d meet someone who could actually cure him.

Even if the hope was slim, he’d still be grateful to Lou Mu Yan. After more than a year of experience, his heart had long grown cold. After the extermination of his clan, she was the first person who smiled and comforted him sincerely.

Lou Mu Yan refined a grade 6 pill from the spiritual herbs that she obtained, then used another set of spiritual herbs to refine an ointment.

“Senior, he needs to smear a layer of the ointment I made all over his body, but it’s inconvenient for me as a woman. Can someone come and help? Lou Mu Yan said to the deputy judge.

The deputy judge nodded, and quickly arranged for a male attendant to enter the room. He closed the curtains and applied the ointment to the patient’s entire body.

Lou Mu Yan then fed him a pill and helped him sit cross-legged. She used the green spiritual energy to act on the golden needles to heal the man’s major meridians.

An hour later, she finished applying the needles, and all the ointment on the man’s body was absorbed into the meridians in the body.

“Adjust yourself for an hour, and the severed meridians should now be connected. It might be very painful, but if you endure, you’ll be able to recover.” Lou Mu Yan said in a gentle voice.

There was a thin layer of sweat on the man’s pale face. He felt that the pain in his body was reaching its limit, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, “Alright, thank you Physician Lou.”

“You’re welcome, just adjust well.”

After Lou Mu Yan finished speaking, she walked to her seat and sat cross-legged to recover. She had used a lot of green spiritual energy just now and she expended a lot of energy.

It took Lou Mu Yan no more than four hours to treat the four patients, while many other contestants were still worrying about the first and second patients.

Lan Ruo Shu and Zhou Zhou were still detoxifying the third person who was also poisoned, but it took much longer than Lou Mu Yan.

When the six hours arrived, the judges in the room immediately stopped the treatment of all contestants.

The Alchemy Pagoda’s grade 7 physicians acted as judges and two entered a room to check the treatment results of the contestants.

Because they had to check one by one, so it took a while.

An hour later, the main judge showed up with a list, and the wooden rooms that appeared in the arena disappeared.

“I am very disappointed about the second round of the competition, because many of you weren’t qualified. I hope that each of you will have a heart of benevolence, so that you can walk more smoothly on the path of alchemy.”

His words made many alchemists a little ashamed, but there were also some that didn’t take it seriously. They thought that as long as they could refine advanced-grade pills, what did the life or death of other people have to do with them.

The Central State Deputy judge couldn’t resist by sigh inwardly. How could these people know that their future cultivation depended on comprehending the elemental laws to advance, and the prerequisite for comprehending them was the tempering of the state of mind.

Treating and saving lives, and having a benevolent heart was more conducive to future comprehension. Only then could one become a grade 8, or even grade 9 alchemist.

This was also the reason why this round of the alchemy competition was set up, but what he should remind had already been said. It was their own business whether the participants listened or not.

“Now I will announce the results and scores of the second round.

“First place, Lou Mu Yan, scoring ten points. Be it treatment technique or the dispensing of medicine, both were perfect.

“She treated a total of four patients, and all of them were perfectly healed successfully. In particular, the fourth patient whose meridians were severed has completely recovered under her treatment. This person who was going to be paralysed for a lifetime will not only recover his entire health, but after recuperating for three months, he could even continue to cultivate. It truly is a miracle.

“Second place, Lan Ruo Shui, scoring seven points, successfully treating three patients.

“Third place, Zhou Zhou, scoring six points, successfully treating three patients, but his technique was inferior to that of Lan Ruo Shui.

“Fourth place…”

When the main judge announced the results, the audience was in an uproar.

“What? She can actually heal people whose meridians have been severed, so amazing!”

“Yeah! I heard that many grade 8 physicians don’t even have such skill, could it be that she’s a grade 8 physician?”

“No way, how could she be a grade 8 physician at her young age? There should be some special method.”

“True, I’ve never heard of a twenty-year-old grade 8 alchemist or grade 8 physician.”

“But maybe she’s a super genius.”

“Her attitude when treating was very serious, gentle, and friendly. Such a woman sure is likeable!”

“Yeah, serious women are very attractive.”
“…”

Whether it was in the private rooms or in the viewing seats, there were constant whispers discussions between people. At this moment, the cover over the competition field had already dissipated, and the contestants could all hear it.

Lan Ruo Shui gave Lou Mu Yan a cold look, feeling unreconciled. She was actually overtaken by such a woman who came out of nowhere.

After a while, she restrained her dissatisfaction, turned around, and left the arena.

After the second round of the competition, Lou Mu Yan called her companions to leave together. But just after leaving the private room, Zhu Xiao Liu and several young men blocked them.

“Wait, I have something I need you for.” Zhu Xiao Liu looked at Lou Mu Yan arrogantly and said.

“Good dogs don’t block the way.” Bing Ji’s expression darkened.

Zhu Xiao Liu glared at Bing Ji, “I’m not even talking to you.”

“What do you want?” Lou Mu Yan asked with slightly furrowed brows.

“My Second Elder Brother accidentally injured his meridians when he went to train before. Since you can heal that person, you can also cure my second elder brother, so come with me to the Zhu Clan.”

Zhu Xiao Liu looked as if it was an honour for her to go treat the illness, “You can rest assured, we’ll give you the payment.”

“I’ll go treat just because you tell me to go treat?” Lou Mu Yan sneered, raised an eyebrow, and said: “Who do you think you are? I don’t have the time to play with you.”

Unless she was ill in the head would she go and treat them when being invited with such an attitude.

“You…” Zhu Xiao Liu choked. Remembering that this person stole the limelight of her elder cousin sister, her eyes rolled in thought, and she threatened: “What’re you so proud of. Who knows from what poor place a lowly woman like you popped out from, what qualifications do you have to be so arrogant in front of me. Do you believe that if my Zhu Clan says the word, we can easily make your life worse than death.”

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes turned cold, and her companions’ did the same. Even Ming Xiu, who was standing not far away, exuded a cold killing intent from his entire body.

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu were just about to speak, when a clear and pleasant voice sounded that carried a slight coldness.

“I sure didn’t know that my Feng Yue Xin’s daughter had become a lowly woman from some poor place. A mere Zhu Clan dares to bully my child, good!”
